Alternative Grounds Caffe

I am so glad we stopped here for breakfast. Very delicious coffee and breakfast options, plus we bought some cookies for later in the day. The service was a little slow, but they seemed short staffed and everyone was very kind. I definitely recommend stopping in if you're in the area!

I love seeing a place like this in Middleport! I spent a lot of time here over a week as I worked remotely while visiting family. I appreciated the space they had and the consistent friendliness of all who worked there. My favorite treat was the poptart - still thinking about several weeks later! Looking forward to visiting again.

Nice little cafe along the canal, food was good and atmosphere cozy. You can tie your boat along the canal and walk over for breakfast or lunch. Or as we did, park our van along the canal and walked over.

This place is comfy. Lots of seating. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We didn't get breakfast, although there was several options to choose from. I was in the mood for an iced tea. The woman who helped me made me a strawberry sun brewed iced tea. My wife ordered an iced Carmel macchiato (whatever that means). Both drinks were fantastic. I would definitely recommend trying this place. We came from 40 minutes away to try it, and we will definitely be doing it again.

If I lived in the area, this would be my go-to coffee shop. My breakfast arrived in a timely manner and was hot. The bacon was perfect! The vibe is warm, cozy, and friendly with an abundance of light and a lack of clutter. I appreciated the gluten-free free baked goods. I tried a brownie that had sweet potato in it, and it was wonderful. We were so glad to have stumbled upon this delightful place. If you are biking the Erie Canal trail, I highly recommend you make a stop here!
